Yeah...that makes even more sense now, publishers are known to not care unless they make a remake or some shit.

Arrowhead hasn't owned Magicka for several years - Paradox is the owner, even Magicka 2 was made by Pieces.
So fans are on their own right now :(

I bet it's unrelated, but I've been having "authentication failed" notifications left and right during mp. Who knows where between user, steam and paradox network the shitting happens, probably will take the actual devs to fix it proper, which is unlikely with their focus on HD2.
